Career

edit

At the 2020 Central American Championships in Athletics, Chacón earned her first international medals by winning the 100 m and finishing runner-up in the 200 m. She repeated that performance in both events at the 2021 Central American Championships in Athletics. The following month at the 2021 NACAC under-18 championships, Chacón placed 3rd in the 100 m and 2nd in the 200 m. She finished her 2021 championship season at the U20 Pan American Games, where she qualified for the 100 m and 200 m finals placing 8th and 6th respectively. At the 2022 Central American Championships in Athletics, Chacón earned gold medals in the 100 m and 200 m as well as a bronze in the 4 × 100 m anchoring the Guatemalan team.[1]

Competing in her first global championship at the 2021 World Athletics U20 Championships, Chacón qualified for the semifinals in the 100 m and 200 m but did not advance to the finals in either event. She returned to contest both events again the following year, failing to advance past the first round in the 100 m but moving forward as the last semifinal qualifier in the 200 m before finishing last in her semifinal.[1]

Chacón competed in the 2023 Central American and Caribbean Games, but she was disqualified for a false start in the 100 m and finished next to last in the 200 m. She improved her placings later that month at the 2023 NACAC U23 Championships, qualifying for both the 100 m and 200 m finals and placing 7th and 8th respectively. At the 2024 Central American Championships in Athletics, she was able to repeat her 100 m victory from 2022 but got silver in the 200 m behind Cristal Cuervo.[1]

In July 2024, Chacón was selected to represent Guatemala in the 100 metres at the 2024 Summer Olympics. She was selected via a "universality place" that allows countries that would otherwise not have qualified to send one athlete in the 100 metres.[2] She became the first female athletics Olympian from Guatemala in 52 years, and is the only female Guatemalan athletics competitor at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[3]

Personal life

edit

Chacón is from Huité, Zacapa Department, Guatemala where she attended Colegio San Francisco Javier De Zacapa. She then majored in exercise science at Jacksonville University.[4]
